SIMRAD GS10
GPS Smart Antenna

Introduction

The GS10 GPS Smart Antenna is a self-contained position provider
for a navigation system. The antenna can be mounted in the ex-
posed environment on a ship, and will supply position data, time,
SOG and COG, using NMEA2000 protocols on Simrad's SimNet data-
bus.
The GS10 contains a 12-parallel channel GPS receiver with WAAS
and EGNOS. It comes with a fixed 5 m (16.4') SimNet cable with
connector, ready to connect to a Tee Joiner on the SimNet system,
or navigation product.
